Transcatheter arterial embolization of a uterine artery pseudoaneurysm with Onyx® following D&C for uterine bleeding

چکیده
Transcatheter uterine artery embolization is well described and performed for treatment of symptomatic uterine leiomyomas, for postpartum hemorrhage, and for hemorrhage following hysterectomy.
